‘Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch’ Getting A Free DLC Familiar!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch may just be one of my favourite games ever. It’s been years (and years!) since I’ve been so addicted to a title; since I’ve been so engrossed in a world that wasn’t my own. It is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful games of all time; Level-5 and Studio Ghibli have crafted an absolute masterpiece, and if you’ve EVER enjoyed an RPG before, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

 

Catching and training creatures (called familiars) is a huge part of the game. It’s a little bit like Pokémon, and acts as a clever party system in the game. Europe has had a neat little dragon familiar (called Draggle) available for download since Ni No Kuni‘s launch last month.

 

Draggle... the dragon.
Draggle… the dragon.

 

Just when I started to wonder if we’d ever see the cute little guy on our side of the pond, BOOM. Draggle’s coming, for free, on February 12th. That’s right, FREE! Now go have a babana in celebration.

 

How are you liking the game so far? Were you one of the lucky folks who got their hands on the Wizard’s Edition?

 

Watch The First 30 Minutes Of ‘Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch’

Remember the Level-5 developed PS2 classic Dark Cloud? How about Studio Ghibli’s wonderful line of animated films like Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away? Wouldn’t it be incredible if the two collaborated and made a video game?

 

Well, they did; Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch released in Japan (to much fanfare) all the way back in 2011. Now, in 2013, the PS3 version of the acclaimed JRPG is just a few days away from hitting North American shores (and just a couple weeks away for European gamers).

 

Popular YouTube channel Dealspwn has just revealed the first 30 minutes of the game (including the opening cutscene and some gameplay). If you weren’t already insanely excited for Ni No Kuni, watching this for just a few minutes should do the trick, it looks absolutely incredible.

 

Seriously, this looks like it could be one of the best games of the year, and it’s only January. Watch the game’s opening below, and let us know what you think!

 

 

Again, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch hits North America THIS Tuesday, January 22nd.
